OBJECTIVE In this report, the authors describe Man to Man prostate cancer support group characteristics and functioning to identify ways to strengthen the program as it expands nationally and internationally. METHODS A mail survey of 38 groups in Florida collected data on group meeting practices,

This article inquires into whether and how uncertainty reduction theory and problematic integration theory, two theories relevant to social support as enacted within a chapter of the Man-to-Man prostate cancer support group, inform us of how such groups can assist group members most effectively.

Prostate cancer affects men and their loved ones; consequently, survivors and their wives can gain from social support throughout the illness experience. After observing meetings of a support group for prostate cancer survivors and their partners, the authors used the constant comparison method to

OBJECTIVE Peperomin E (PepE), a natural secolignan isolated from the whole plant of Peperomia dindygulensis, has been reported by ourselves and others to display potent anti-cancer effects in many types cancer cells, especially gastric cancer. However, the effects of PepE on the metastasis of

Peperotetraphin (methyl rel-(1R,2S,3S)-2,3-bis(7-methoxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl) cyclobutanecarboxylate) was a novel cyclobutane-type norlignan, which was isolated from the whole plant of Peperomia tetraphylla. In this study, we explored its anti-tumor effect and the molecular mechanism in human

Advanced lung cancer has poor prognosis owing to its low sensitivity to current chemotherapy agents. Therefore, discovery of new therapeutic agents is urgently needed. In this study, we investigated the antitumor effects of peperomin E, a secolignan isolated from Peperomia dindygulensis, a

The Reach-to-Recovery program and its importance is explained by asking readers to imagine themselves as patients recovering from a mastectomy. The expansion of the Reach-to-Recovery program is discussed including reconstruction visitation, preoperative visits, the man-to-man program, teaching

Peperomia dindygulensis, with secolignans (SLs) as major bioactive constituents, is a commonly used traditional folk medicine in mainland China for treatment of stomach, liver, mammary, and esophageal cancers. However, to date, there is no method available for the qualitative and quantitative

Our previous research found the ethyl acetate extract of Peperomia tetraphylla (EAEPT) inhibited the growth of U937 cells by blocking the cell cycle and prompted apoptosis via the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-medicated mitochondria pathway. While the compounds in EAEPT which possessed the

Peperomia pellucida leaf extract was characterized for its anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant activities, and chemical compositions. Anticancer activity of P. pellucida leaf extract was determined through Colorimetric MTT (tetrazolium) assay against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell line

Five new compounds (1-5), including two secolignans, two tetrahydrofuran lignans, and one highly methoxylated dihydronaphthalenone, were isolated from the whole plant of Peperomia pellucida. These compounds were accompanied by the known peperomins A, B, C, and E,

Six new lignans (1-6), along with 14 known compounds, were obtained from Peperomia duclouxii. The new structures were elucidated mainly by the analysis of their NMR and MS data. The absolute configurations of 1-6 were determined by comparing their optical rotations or CD spectra with those of known

OBJECTIVE Two surveys were conducted to evaluate the Man to Man program, a prostate cancer self-help group of the American Cancer Society (ACS). METHODS The study involved two surveys in Colorado and Utah in 2001, one of program participants, the other of area urologists, respectively. A focus group

Three long-chain aliphatic compounds, including one new polyketide derivative, dindygulerione C (1), one new octaketide derivative, dindygulerione D (2) and one new acylresorcinol derivative dindyguleranone (3) were isolated from the whole plant of the Chinese anticancer folk medicine Peperomia

Two new cyclobutane-type norlignans, methyl rel-(1R,2S,3S)-2-(7-methoxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate (1), and methyl rel-(1R,2R,3S)-2-(7-methoxy-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate (2), and a new lignanamide,
